Student Comments:

 

It was interesting but it was a short class so Everything was quick and a lot of work.  It would be better for a whole semester class. 

 

Interesting and fun way to introduce the subject.  It obsicales (sic) made sure the students had to take the right stepes to get to the final line therefore taught them how to use Boolean even if they did not expect to learn from it.

 

I enjoyed the assignment.  However if there were a little more instrction, I think the project could have been more challenging.

 

Good way to learn how to use this strategy in searching for database, it was helpful.

 

I thought it was definitely worth the time.  I think this info will be helpful in all my Internet searches.

 

I feel that at first it was confusing but i was to do this at home I wouldnt have been able to.

 

I thought it was different from  other assignemnts I've done, also it was interesting and fun.

 

I thought it was fun and definitely could be used in other courses.

 

I thought it was interesting but teacher instruction was needed to make it an overall successful project.

 

I felt like this was a fun assignment.  It gave me a good understanding of what Boolean Algebra is in an interesting way that kept my attention.

 

It was a new and interesting way of applying math to real life situations that will possibley help me in other courses.

 

Very interesting.  I learned a lot.  Having an understanding professor helped.  He explained thourghly.

 

It was fun

 

It was something different to make the class more fun.

This assignment was a good change from the regular course material.  Also it really helped me with the library because before that class, I didnt know we could do these things.  All in all, it was fun and an informational experience.

 

I enjoyed it.  Learned a lot and was a nice change from the notes / text work we were doing in class.  It made me look at this class differently in a good way.

 

I enjoyed the assignment. It was interesting and it was a nice change from sitting in class.

 

I really enjoyed the assignment.  It was a nice break from straight lecture and it applied the material to real life.

 

I thought the assignment was a creative way to apply Boolean Logic to other subjects.

 

I really like doing this assignment because I learned more about database and it will help me with other classes.

 

It was very educational =:-)

 

I thought it was very innovative for a math class, to not only do traditional math work but to add more technology in  math class.  In this day and age there should be more classes that make use of current technology.

 

 

 


 

Unsolicited comments received after the final exam

 

Thanks again for making Logic such a great experience for me.

 

p.s. good course learned more  then just math!!! 

 

I really enjoyed your class. I like the idea of introducing boolean on the computer

 

i really enjoyed your class. as i told you once before, I had taken this course in the past and had been unable (or unwilling) to absorb the material
